What is now the Kerry School of Music was founded in 1980 by Tralee man Aidan O'Carroll to address a lack of opportunity for access to music and performing arts training in the locality. Our office and central music hub at High Street Tralee became our home in 1997. We have expanded over the past 44 years to include centres in Listowel, Killarney and Dingle.

Our record speaks for itself. Our students out-perform all others in examinations and competitions. Our Alumni are to be found in opera houses, orchestras, theatres and media throughout the world. We have highly trained and skilled teachers who are not only excellent at their individual instruments and skills but are also dedicated to the role of tutor.
